摘要:
A method for identifying a manipulator by means of a portable terminal device, wherein the portable terminal device comprises a 3D camera. The method operates to detect a three-dimensional image of at least one part of the manipulator to be identified by means of the 3D camera of the portable terminal device. An actual status of the manipulator is determined based on the three-dimensional image detected. The 3D camera is a plenoptic camera, and the detected three-dimensional image comprises a four-dimensional light field of at least one part of the manipulator to be identified.

A robot system includes at least one robot, robot controllers configured to control the robot, and pendants. The robot controllers include robot group control units each having an operating mode storage unit to store operating mode information to select a robot. The pendants include an enabling device to turn on and off drive power to the robot. The robot group control units are connected via an enable-link-signal line. Each robot group control unit is configured to output an enable link signal by operating the enabling device included in a corresponding pendant to transmit the enable link signal via the enable-link-signal line to all of the robot group control units. Each robot group control unit is configured to output a drive-power-on enable signal to turn on and off drive power to the robot in accordance with the enable link signal and the operating mode information.

A fluid dispensing system and method therefore having a PDA controller is provided. The system includes a dispensing apparatus, a positioning system and a general purpose PDA for controlling the system. The PDA optionally includes dispensing system logic for communicating with the dispensing apparatus. The dispensing system logic optionally includes one or more of positioner control logic, create program logic, store program logic, teach logic and recall program logic. The PDA communicates with the positioning system and/or the dispensing apparatus by a wired and/or wireless connection. Optionally a plurality of dispensing systems are networked together and the PDA communicates with one or more dispensing systems via a connection to the network. The network may be wired or wireless, and the PDA may have a wired or a wireless connection to the network.

A robot controller executes an operating program, calculates a position and posture of a robot, and sends the position and posture information to a personal computer (PC). At the PC side, on the basis of this position and posture information, animation display information of a work cell including the position and posture of the robot is created and then sent to a teaching pendant. In the teaching pendant, the animation display information is received, and an animation image is displayed on a display section. Until the operating program is terminated, this operation is performed so that an operating animation of the robot is displayed on the display section of the teaching pendant.

The invention relates to a method of connecting a mobile, electronic control and/or monitoring unit (9) to at least one machine or at least one machine component in a group or a plurality of machines (2) or machine components to be controlled and/or monitored. During a connection or log-on procedure between the control and/or monitoring unit (9) and a co-operating distant point on the respective machine (2), a clear link or log-on connection is set up either by means of interfaces (14, 15) to the selected, wireless direction-finder of the co-operating distant point or alternatively by means of transmitters and/or receivers (16, 17) tuned to a restricted, localized functional or operating range (21). Once the connection has been acknowledged and established, the programmed control and/or monitoring of the machine (2) or the machine component is managed via another, standard data transmission means (22), for example a hard-wired network and/or via a wireless link between the control and/or monitoring unit (9) and the selected machine (2). Also proposed is a control and/or monitoring unit (9) for implementing this method.

A transmission-side robot control device (21) and a receiving-side robot control device (21) each include an EPROM (27) which stores a software update program and robot motion control software, a RAM (24) which stores the software update program read from the first storage section (27), and storage media (26B) which stores update software. An external terminal or a host computer for software update is not needed, and a plurality of robot control devices can be standardized to have even an old version. It is not necessary to check a version currently stored, and the update can be performed at high speed.
摘要:
To provide an automatic machine system for readily and reliably selecting a desired mechanism part from among the automatic machine systems composed of a plurality of mechanism parts and teaching the mechanism part.Each of a plurality of mechanism parts such as robots includes a first communication part. A teaching operation part includes a second communication part with directivity. When the second communication part of the teaching operation part is oriented to the first communication part included in a target mechanism part to select the same, the second communication part transmits selection request information to the first communication part. A controller for controlling the mechanism parts places the target mechanism part in an operable state based on the selection request information thereby operating the target mechanism part with the operation of the worker on the teaching operation part.

A robot system (X-Z) includes a plurality of manipulators (1x-2x, 1y-2y, 1w-2w, 1z-2z) and a portable terminal (3), said terminal being able to connect to the manipulators in wireless mode. The system is conceived so as to enable the terminal (3) to connect to a first manipulator (1x-2x) in a programming mode (Main) and, during the same session, to connect to a second manipulator (1w, 2w) in a monitoring mode (Secondary).
摘要:
A servomotor control system for multi-axes in which a single servo-amplifier can operate m rotational speed control loops and m current control loops as well for m servomotors simultaneously, where m is a predetermined integer greater than unity, while a single positioning controller with a signal teaching box can handle n servo-amplifiers in parallel, where n is a predetermined integer greater than unity, thereby mn servomotors in total can be controlled by a single system. In the system of the invention, the multiple servomotors can be divided into groups each including up to six servomotors to be controlled as a group and independently from servomotors belonging to other groups. The system of the invention can easily be expanded by a minimum addition of servo-amplifiers and/or positioning controllers to include servomotors more than mn, in which addition of one or more teaching boxes is possible whenever they become necessary.
